One of the main characteristics of weaving, namely that you construct the fabric as you are creating the image, allows you to build in different directions or to work in 3 dimensions. Working with a warp and a weft or two sets of interconnecting threads gives you many more possiilities than a flat woven tapestry might suggest. This class will explore different ways to create three dimensional pieces and will consist of:

• a look at 3D work of several tapestry artists, 
• existing techniques,
  
• the two techniques I developed for the tapestries Hidden and Beneath 
  
• a session on finding ways to create 3D effects or layers depending on the participants' designs.
